This book focuses on the role of the endocannabinoid system in
local and systemic inflammation, with individual chapters written
by experts in the field of cannabinoid research and medicine. The
topics explore the actions of the endocannabinoid system on the
immune system, including neuroinflammation in autoimmune disorders
such as multiple sclerosis, and in neurodegenerative disorders such
as Huntington's and Alzheimer's, as well as local and systemic
inflammatory conditions affecting organs including the eye (uveitis
and corneal inflammation), the bladder (interstitial cystitis),
pancreas (diabetes), cardiovascular system (stroke), joints
(arthritis), and sepsis. The objective of this book is to provide
knowledge transfer on the use of cannabinoids in inflammatory
disease by critically examining preclinical and clinical research
on the immunomodulatory actions of the endocannabinoid system, with
specific emphasis on the actions of cannabinoids in diseases where
inflammation is a prominent component. By drawing these results
together, we seek to provide further understanding of the
complexities of endocannabinoid system modulation of immune
function and identify potential uses and limitations for
cannabinoid-based therapeutics.
